Research carried out by the Carnegie Institute of Technology shows that 85 percent of your financial success is due to skills in “human engineering,” your personality and ability to communicate, negotiate, and lead. Shockingly, only 15 percent is due to technical knowledge. Additionally, Nobel Prize winning Israeli-American psychologist, Daniel Kahneman, found that people would rather do business with a person they like and trust rather than someone they don’t, even if the likeable person is offering a lower quality product or service at a higher price.
"The purpose of life is not to win. The purpose of life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought into other people's lives than you will from the time that you outdid and defeated them."
Being a leader is a formidable yet inspiring task. In any setting, the leader is a representation of the morality of their group, and those who follow them, do so with trust and willingness. A good leader knows this all too well, and this is often why a large ego has too strong a place in a leadership position. One of the most important attributes of a leader is their ability to be humble. Don't let the ego run wild and remain humbled by those who support you- and yourself.
1. Don’t misspell the Company Name or put the wrong company name on the cover letter. – Cover letters are great. They explain why you are applying for the job and why you are the best fit. Cover letters also give you, the applicant an opportunity to explain bumps in your career history. BUT as an applicant please check the company name listed on your cover letter. Daily, I see cover letters written to the wrong company or with the company name misspelled. Please check your cover letter before submitting.
